By JOE CHEDDAR The Penn State Barbell Club lost 12-9 to the West Chester State of Army last Saturday? That question will be answered when the Lions host an undefeated Teachers College weight lifting team Saturday at West Chester.

This year's Navy team is con sidered by Coach Chet Phillips to be one of the best he has had in his 15 years of coaching at the Naval Academy. Thus far, the Middies have won five of their six victories by wide ) margins. Syracuse, whom the' Lions trounced here two weeks, ago, lost to Navy by eight points 52-44, last Saturday at Syracuse., Defeated W. Va.. 59-27 Navy defeated West Virginia, 59-27, and Temple, 69-26, which, is some indication of the strength of the Middie squad. Penn State defeated the same two teams by respective scores of 63-33 and 62-34. • According to reports from the Naval Academy, tumbling has been the team's weakest event throughout the season. Charles Korzinak and Bill Kron zer, the two leading tumblers on' the Navy team, have been unable to win a single first place in each of its six meets. Hoping for Tumbling Sweep Wettstone is hoping for a sweep of the first three places in tumb-' ling in order to offset Navy's definite advantage in the side horse. Undefeated Bill Paxton, Dion Weissend, and Adie Stevens will probably be the Lion tumbling entries. Paxton was one of the two Lions to win a first against Army. The sidehorse presents a com pletely different problem for the Lions to cope with. Undefeated Steve Arnold—de fending Eastern Intercollegiate sidehorse champion Pat Ford, and Jack Leonard give the Navy aggregation one of the strongest sidehorse entries in the East. All three have been consistent scor ers in each of the Middie meets. Lions Weak On Sidebars. The Lions, on the other hand, have been weak in that event all season. Wettstone, however, has been impressed by the improvement Captain Tony Cline, Jack Itiester: feldt, and Armando Vega hay -been making on the sideherse as' the season progresses. "Although this is Vega's weak est event from the standpoint of Olympic all-around competition," Wettstone said, "he has greatly helped to overcome our weakness in this event" "The Navy sidehorse entries may be- capable of neutralizing any advantage we might gain in the tumbling cempetitimi, , Welt; stone said. "This could possibly be one of the key events in the meet," he added. IM Cage- (Continued from page six) with a 32-22 decision over Dorm 26. Only Dirty 30, who also copped a win Monday, has a chance to catch the 29ers. Dorm 30 is one game behind the pace setters with a 5-1 slate. Both have two games remaining. Dirty 30 registered its win over the Tigers, 30-21. Bob Pivik ripped the cords for 14 markers to lead The Dirty 30 scoring march. Two forfeits marred the `lndie card.
